    Not a chance, I will put an extra jumper on.... Was actually the first time I put my jumper on last night at work since at least March.
    My next gas bill is due end of October, so if I can last out until then it will be another cheap quarter on the next bill, around £30-£40 instead of the winter one around £250!

    Last night I was shivering in bed!!. I'll put on the winter quilt this afternoon.

    Perhaps it is something to do with being 10 kilos lighter now than I was back in June. I feel better for it except, Im feeling the cold

    ... I have only actually ever donned a kilt on three occasions in total, i.e., for the weddings of immediate relatives. And each time, the complete ensemble was hired.
